Logan states that his brother will be back in the ring.
After six rounds in their eight-round fight, Anthony Joshua put Jake Paul down via knockout. Jake left the bout with a broken jaw and having to get teeth removed. Paul has since undergone successful surgery.
Weighing in on the fight was Jake’s brother, Logan Paul. Logan appeared on ESPN’s First Take and expressed his opinion that the result of Jake-Joshua was the logical conclusion. He said he does not think anyone actually thought Jake would beat the two-time Unified Heavyweight World Champion.
“So, strictly from a logical point of view, I actually think it went down exactly as it was supposed to. I’m not sure anyone really thought that Jake (Paul) was gonna beat Anthony Joshua but, you have to understand, being his brother and in his close circle, he has this conviction that makes you believe and he has this ability to defy reality and morph it into his vision of how it’ll transpire that makes you think he’ll win… This was a logical conclusion to the fight. The two-time Olympian broke the influencer boxer’s jaw, like, okay, we could’ve wrote it in a story and it would have made sense. That said, I think he did amazing. I’m incredibly proud of him. I think it was a net positive. I think the world can see now how tough Jake Paul is, and how fearless he is and that is why he’s in the position he is because he has this delusional confidence that leads him to success and doesn’t care what people think and so as his brother, I was just shocked. I’m in the hospital with the guy and he’s like, ‘Yo, can you make this TikTok? Can you film this for me?’ He’s laughing and having a good time. The guy loves his job and he loves life and he loves putting himself in situations where people don’t think he’s gonna do the impossible and time and time again he does and I’m proud of him and I love him very much.”
To follow up on that, Logan was asked what is next for Jake and said his brother will fight again.
“I don’t know (when Jake Paul will fight again). I know we will see him back in the ring. I do know that his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is going for Olympic gold in speedskating in February and so that’s our family’s and his number one priority right now which is supporting Jutta, because if we can add an Olympic gold medalist to the family, man, the Paul’s would be going crazy.”
Logan is under contract to WWE. He’s a member of The Vision stable on Monday Night Raw with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.
